Revealed: Why Ally McCoist is quitting Rangers ... it’s a bid to move the focus back on to mismanagement of club

GARY RALSTON exclusively reveals why the manager felt it was time to call it a day at the club he has served as a player and manager for 20 years.

ALLY McCOIST quit as Rangers boss to return the focus of attention to the scandal of the mismanagement of the Ibrox club. McCoist tendered his resignation to football board chairman Sandy Easdale because recent poor performances of his side were beginning to take centre stage. The timing of McCoist’s resignation, which was announced just hours before the game against Queen of the South, has surprised many. However, it’s believed McCoist has been considering his future for several weeks as savage cost cutting and redundancies to long serving staff eventually took their toll.

One source said: “A lot of good people have been leaving Ibrox recently - most of them not by choice. “I know Ally will be devastated. Rangers are as much a part of his life as he is of its history. “There has been an increasing level of noise around his position recently and that has deflected attention from the real issues. “He’s putting Rangers and the supporters first and by stepping back maybe the spotlight might shine on the club and its future - as well as those responsible for its future.

“Everyone knows significant funding is required and they will have to provide answers to shareholders at the forthcoming agm. “The club has been ravaged in recent months. Many people with Rangers at their core have been paid off, as if the wages of a maintenance man or admin woman can even remotely make up for the vast sums of money that have been haemmorhaged from the place these last few years. “McCoist has been dealing in the tears and heartache of good, honest people, as well as trying to keep a team on track for successive promotions. “I’m sure he’s aware his side could be better - and losing the recent cup tie to Alloa in the way they did recently was painful. “However, it can be argued very easily he has been more to keep that club together than anyone else.

There's so much wrong with this article it's difficult to pick out any part of it for crticism, it's shockingly bad, all of it. To add some sort of perspective, if it's true that Boyd and Miller are on 15k a a week, how many of the staff at Ibrox could still have been in a job had Ally not signed one of them.

Like being a **** manager is not a real issue. I suspect his source may have been Ally himself.

By all accounts, the source of the story actually is Jabba Traynor.

Makes sense.
 
Rangers have confirmed to the Stock Exchange that manager Ally McCoist has resigned and is serving 12 months' notice.

The directors will hold discussions with McCoist in order to seek an "amicable solution."

McCoist will also see his salary increase to £750,000 a year.

"The company announces that Alastair McCoist, manager of the first team squad, has resigned," said the statement.

"His service contract dated 28 December 2010, which was subsequently amended, has a 12 month notice period ("Notice Period").

"The directors will hold discussions with Mr McCoist to seek an amicable solution in the best interests of the company, and expect to be in a position to make a further announcement before the end of the week.

"During the notice period, Mr McCoist's salary will increase significantly to £750,000 per annum."

The statement ends days of speculation following McCoist's refusal to confirm if he had tendered his resignation on Friday ahead of the 2-0 defeat to Queen of the South.

<rofl> Oh my aching sides.
 
I don't understand it at all. How the f** did he get a contract which stipulated that his period of notice was the same length as his contract?

A lot of people are on fixed term contracts but their period of notice is two or four weeks.
